Containment sump testing is a critical process for gas stations, particularly those that have underground storage tanks (USTs). Containment sumps are designed to collect leaks or spills that may occur during the transfer of fuel from delivery trucks to the tank or due to tank leaks. Proper testing ensures that these systems are functioning correctly, helping to protect the environment and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

Containment sump testing is essential for the safe operation of gas stations and compliance with environmental regulations. Regular testing not only protects the environment from potential contamination but also ensures the safety and integrity of the fueling operation. For the specific methodologies and protocols required, it is important to follow state and federal guidelines and, when necessary, consult with professionals specializing in environmental compliance and testing.
